Career OF the Swedish Explorer Who II
Meditating an Antarctic Expedition.
Whether he hopes to reach the South
Poie or not Baron Nordenskjold, the
eminent Swedish explorer, is meditat-
ing an Antarctic expedition. His past
achievements warrant the expectation
thas his plans will be carried out. He
expresses himself as confident that he
will reach point farther south than
has yet been reached. providing that
he can get a supply of coal to insure
his steamer in the melancholy waste of
waters within the Antarctic circle.
The Baron expects to be absent year
and half on his expedition, during
which he will pursue scientific observa-
tons. For this task he is well quail
fed. His taste for scientific inquiry is
natural, inherited from his ancestors,
and has been the subject of incessant
cultivation.
Adolf Eric Nordenskjold was born at
Helsingfors on November Is, 1882.
His father was chief of the Finland
Mining Department. Early in his life
it was observed that the lad cared
more for practical than theoretical
learning. He was educated at Borgo
and the University of Helsingfors. His
attention to scientific pursuits was the
marked feature of his university career,
as 1t had been of bis earlier life. He
spent his vacations in excursions to
the rich mineral localities of Fin
land At Helsingfors Nordenskjold
was appointed director of the
faculty of mathematics and phys
les, an Office from which he was
removed in 1855. In 1858 he became
Mineralogist at Stockholm. His first
experience as explorer was in 1852,
when he accompanied Torell on his
expedition. Upon his return he was
nominated director of Riks Museum.
In 1861 he went to Spitzbergen with
Torell. Three years later he headed
the expedition which successfully COM
pleted the measurement and mapped
the southern part of Spitzbergen. The
Nordenskjold expedition in 1868 COM
pleted observations which accurately
fixed the position of that land, and at
tanned the latitude of 81 degrees and
AZ minutes, which has only twice been

a scientific tour of Greenland. EXpe-
ditions led by him in 1872 and 1875
were succeeded by the most important
of his enterprises thus far. This was
undertaken in 1873 for the purpose Of
exploring the North Polar Sea from
the mouth of the Yenesei east to Behr-
ing Strait Nordenskjold left Gothen-
burg in July, 1873, and reached Yoka-
hama in September. 1879. AS results
of this brilliant achievement he an
nounced the opinions that communica-
ton by sea for commercial purposes is
practicable between Europe and the
Obi-Yenesei; also that the voyage from
the Atlantic to the Pacific, in the Sibe-
rian Sea, can be done, but would be
useless to commerce.; and that further
exploration is necessary to determine
whether sea communication between
the Pacific and the mouth of the Lena
can be established.
In April, 1880, Nordenskjold was
created a Baron. He has been the
recipient of distinguished honors from
learned societies in his own and other
countries Chicd0O Inter Ocean,

THE FEE SYSTEM.

NEAR GRANaEvILLE, April 0, 49,
EDITOR Press ST. notice in your
paper yesterday that you condemn the
practice of officers receiving fees in
addition to their salary. Why, l ask,
should there be any extra inducement
held out to public officer, who is the
servant of the people, to discharge the
duties of his Office? Yet it too often
becomes necessary in the interest of
Justice to hold out inducements to off,
GERS of the law to perform their duty.
speak generally. and without referring
to local officers. How often do we hear
that rewards are offered for the appre-
hension of criminals because it is felt
they may not be apprehended unless
large rewards are offered. Thieves rob
a bank and wait for a reward to be
offered, when securities which they are
unable to use are surrendered for the
reward-and no questions asked. The
terms are frequently accepted and the
rascals escape punishment.
This reveals state of society which
it may be powerless to remedy, but is
none the less to be deplored on that
account. You said last week that the
salary bill offered premium to county
officials to neglect their duty. AS far
as that is concerned it used to be the
case that the fees were depended upon
for compensation, and salaries were
made low with the understanding and
expectation that the fees should help
out. The natural result cannot but be
evil. The temptation to resort to un-
scrupulous practices--to perform imagi-
nary services for substantial fees-is too
great to be resisted by men of little
principles.
There is another thing which is nearly
as reprehensible. I mean the ten
dency to extol public officer for the
proper discharge of his duty. An off,
Ger elected by the people to represent
them should always and at all times be
faithful to his constituents. Yet 1t
would seem by grand jury reports and
newspaper laudations that have read
that when an officer is found faithful
to his duty, doing no more and no less
than others would have done under
similar circumstances, that it was ex-
pected that such faithful performance
would be the exception and not the
rule. This ought not to be the case.
The endeavor to extol the acts of ia
yored official in snch case implies a
disparagement, by comparison. of the
acts of others equally commendable, but
not so prominently brought before the
public.
Yours truly, F. L.

SEVEN MEN DROWNED.

The steamer Spokane. a boat thirty
feet long with email boiler and engine
which worked small screw propeller,
was snagged in the Ceur d'Alene river
on Monday of last week and capsized,
causing the death of Ed. Jerome, of
Lewiston, and six other passengers. At
the time of the accident Chas. d. Wood
and Allan Greene were on board and,
both had narrow escapes from drown
ing both were swept under the drifts,
but both came to the surface and sue
ceeded in getting ashore without a
scratch. The boat left Kingston Mon
day morning, and the accident occurred
a mile below, at a point where the river
is 400 feet wide. A large drift of log s
divides 1t into two channels of almost
equal width. Capt. Nelson Martin and
the pilot Geo. Ellis were both ignorant
of navigation and had never made the
trip before, and as they approached the
channel Ellis asked the passengers
which one he should take. The next
moment the boat struck log and cap
sized. There were in all twenty-one
men on board the little hooker as she
left Kingston. None of them knew
that the captain and pilot were so igno-
rant or they would not have trusted
them. The boat had not been inspected
there was not life preserver on board,
and neither skipper nor pilot had a
license. The Cnur d'Alene river in the
fall of the year is long canal like
stretch of dead water, simply an arm of
the lake, but when swollen by the
spring rains and melting SHOWS it be-
comes a mountain torrent with a cur
rent SO swift as to be dreaded by those
who have ever witnessed its force. The
boat was Immediately swept under the
drift and emerged below, and five men
chung to her keel until she was beached
half a mile below. Chas. Wood was
the first man to perceive the danger and
at the instant of striking he hailed all
hands to jump and swim for it, and was
the first to set the example, and sue
ceeded in reaching the drift with
Marshal Greene and several others
where they were taken ashore by rescue
boats from Kingston. Mr.. Creme was
swept completely under the first drift
but came to the surface below on
the lower end of it. Those who had
not the presence of mind or courage to
Jump overheard were swept under al
the Inflated launch capsized and were
probably tangled up in the submerged
drift as they were never seen again
